Sketch #35 on the last day of the Linky Party!

 Hello everyone! Today is the last day of the {BYSHC} Christmas in July 2023 Linky Party! Get your entries in by Midnight! In the meantime....Sketch #35 is almost history! My card today features some fussy cutting and patience!

Papers are from Echo Park Paper Co. Gnome for Christmas. The "Merry Christmas" chipboard sign was also from Echo Park (Home for Christmas). The holly bunch is a stamp from Unity Stamp Co. called Christmas Wishes. I stamped it out onto white cardstock, colored it with Tombow ABT markers, then cut it out. The red enamel dots are from Gina Marie Designs!

Happy July!

 Hello Friends! I've been a little awol due to my daughter's dance recital and nationals competition schedule, but now I'm back! At least for now!  LOL

Beginning of a new month, you know what that means.....a new sketch challenge at {BYSHC}! Sketch #35 is now active until the end of the month! Don't forget to get your entries posted to the {BYSHC} Facebook group before then!!

Here in Florida, July is one of the hottest months of the year. Getting into the "Christmas Spirit" is sometimes difficult when it's 95 degrees! This card features a cool winter palette of blues and mint green. Papers are from My Minds Eye - Christmas Wish. I started with a white card base, measured the patterned paper according to the sketch (below). I stamped the image (Unity Stamp Co. - Ornamental Season) onto white cardstock with VersaFine Clair in Nocturne. Colored with Tombow ABT markers and then added a bit of white gel pen and Nuvo AquaShimmer in Midas Touch to add some shine. The gems are from PinkFresh Studio.
